awesome post this will be really helpful, but i would like to know if there is a option to add a sub menu to the move to folder feature, for example, the send to menu gives you a few options in a sub menu which asks if you want to send a drive or email etc. I know the move to option asks where you want to move the file but if it offered its own menu with multiple options of where you want to move the file that would be awesome. So is there a way to do this?

Hello Mr.Flawless, and welcome to Vista Forums.

There's not a way to add it like that to the Move To Folder menu, but you should be able to customize the Send To menu by adding a shortcut for it there instead. This tutorial will help show you how to if needed.

Send To Context Menu

Hope this helps,

thanks for the fast response, I was trying the send to option earlier but it seems when i try and send a file from hard drive to another hard drive it will only copy the file and send it to the folder leaving the original file, but the move to option fixed that, but i guess im just lazy, I figured if i could add a menu to the move to option it would be a few less clicks lol

, thanks.

Your welcome Mr.Flawless. Yeah, that's the only drawback with Send To.

Hi Shawn!
I´m using this a lot, and it´s really useful... But there is something I would like to have...
Is there any keyboard combination, like ctrl+alt+c to move to folder? Because then I would be able to use it with my logitech mouse, and that would be wonderful!
I guess there is no such combination...? Any possibility to create one?

Thanks

Hi Rangeboy,

Not sure if you can prgram this, but you could use these:

Copy To Folder - Press and hold Alt then press E+F
Move To Folder - Press and hold Alt then press E+V

Hope this helps,
Shawn

That almost worked... It´s a great idea anyway
At first, I didn´t understand why this letters... But unfortunatly it only works with the first letter(E), so with that I have the Edit menu open, and can click on either one of Copy to folder or move to folder. I´m not sure if that´ll be easier, but thanks a lot for the answer!

I was afraid with having to press and hold Alt that it would not work like that, but it was worth a try.
